Study in Dallas

Situated in north-east Texas with a population of 7,233,000, Dallas is a bustling city; the ninth largest in the US and the third largest in Texas.

Dallas universities featured in the QS World University Rankings include University of Texas Dallas and Southern Methodist University. Both have very high research output and a diverse student population, something which is reflected by Dallas’s strong ranking in the student mix indicator.

Known for their sports teams – the Dallas Cowboys (five-time winners of the Superbowl), the Mavericks and the Rangers – for being the backdrop of the JFK assassination in 1963 and, of course, for the popular TV show of the same name, Dallas is a city that is often in the international limelight.

However, what you may not know about Dallas is it also ranks among the biggest cities in the US in terms of employment and business opportunities. With all of this in mind, it isn’t hard to see why Dallas achieved a high score for desirability. This indicator considers many different aspects such as the city’s safety, pollution, level of corruption and student desirability.

As you would expect from such a large US city, there’s plenty to keep you entertained in your spare time. From restaurants to museums, concerts to sports games, there is something to cater for all interests for the students of Dallas.
